High grade intercepts

This 100% owned project is located about 200km west of the company's Seymour Project in Ontario Canada.

Assay results showed drilling intersected with up to 4.06% lithium oxide (Li2O). Results included:

  • 8 metres (m) at 1.72% Li2O from 64 m (including 2m at 4.06% Li2O from 64.6m) at drill hole RL-22-0013
  • 8.4m at 1.32% Li2O from 102 m (including 1m at 3.91% Li2O from 103.6m) at drill hole RL-22-0014
  • 13.4m at 1.24% Li2O from 28.9 m (including 1m at 3.16% Li2O from 29.3m) at drill hole RL-22-0015
  • 6.3m at1.52% Li2O from 66.3 m (including 1.0m at 2.38% Li2O from 70.7m) at drill hole RL-22-0016A

So far, 31 drill holes have been drilled at the McCombe deposit and two diamond drill rigs are operating around the clock.

The company said it is on track to make a mineral resource estimate at the project in quarter one of 2023.

Commenting on the news, Green Technology CEO Luke Cox said:

Recent assay returns have confirmed that McCombe is higher grade than originally interpreted based on historical data.

The Root Project as a whole is also developing into a much larger complex, with McCombe potentially joining with Morrison to form a structure over several kilometres long, and recent spodumene discoveries at Root Bay confirming it extends east and west along a magnetic high.

The Green Technology Metals share price has exploded nearly 178% in the past year, while it is climbing 113% in the year to date.

For perspective, the ASX 200 has fallen nearly 3% in the last year.
